Main

Jasmin Acosta

I am currently working as a writer, assisstant production coordinator, and I am a graduate student at Arizona State Univeristy studying Program Evaultuion and Data Analytics. My time as an Undergradute student studying English has provided me with opportunities to explore the world around me, and to begin making a difference in my community through writing through carefully analyzing my usage of word choices to convery an overall message. Where now I want to apply these skills through combining my background in English with data analytics.

Currently, I aspire to use my unique set of skills to begin analyzing data to make conclusions about the information that is provided, and to build tools using visualization and machine learning to help people explore and understand their data through being able to use data as a means to tell a story.
